drag a line of text

[itay1023]

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know how to make a text field can drag a line of text from top to bottom and everywhere you want?

Thanks in advance,
Itay

That's the default behavior for field objects. Is that not what you're seeing?

Itay and Richard... I didn't know that the ability to drag a line of text within a field object was default behavior. I can't see that property setting anywhere. Is that something available in iOS that I've never seen? If so, that would be cool.

In projects not developed for iOS, I've made use of Scott Rossi's "Get In Line" tutorial... http://www.tactilemedia.com/index.html? ... rials.html

be well,
randy

My bad: I didn't notice that this was posted in the iOS forum. While LiveCode supports normal drag-and-drop behaviors by default on the desktop, that convention isn't present in iOS.

If the request is not for editable text but for list fields specifically, Rossi's example stack is indeed a great starting point.
